03/17/2003 Entry: "River Thames Cycle Tours"

 

River Thames Cycle Tours
Five-day cycle tours following the River Thames from south-west London to Oxford are being introduced this summer by Capital Sport. They start at Richmond-upon-Thames and guests travel independently at their own pace, with plenty of time for stops at such places as Kew Gardens, Hampton Court, Windsor Castle, and a series of riverside villages, locks and old inns.

The tours are available weekly from April to October, and the cost of £750 per person ( £599 in April) includes hotel accommodation, bike rental, luggage transfers, route directions and unobtrusive help from the host.

An extended 10-day tour to the Cotswold Hills and Stratford-upon-Avon is also available at £1,450 per person ( £1,160 in April). Tel: 01296 631671, fax 01296 631703). Website: www.cyclingtoursuk.com.
